One-step synthesis of stereo-pure l,l lactide from l-lactic acid

TL;DR: In this article, a one-step synthesis of stereo-pure l, l -lactide with high selectivity and yield (99%) in the absence of racemization by applying a cost-effective Cs2CO3 catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanistic Insight into Asymmetric N–H Insertion Cooperatively Catalyzed by a Dirhodium Compound and a Spiro Chiral Phosphoric Acid

TL;DR: In this paper, the insertion of a carbenoid into an N-H bond of an amine cooperatively catalyzed by a dirhodium catalyst and a spiro chiral phosphoric acid has been investigated in detail using density functional theory methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chiral Ru/Ir bimetallic dendronized polymer catalysts constructed through sequential metal coordination and applied in asymmetric hydrogenation of quinaldine

TL;DR: In this article, a chiral conjugated copolymer P-2 with (S)-BINAP was synthesized involving Pd[P(p-tolyl)3]3-catalyzed Suzuki-coupling reaction together with reduction of phosphine oxide with HSiCl3/NEt3.
